Installation

The ShoreMaster canopy is used with ShoreMaster cantilever and vertical boat lifts. Many similarly designed canopy models are made by ShoreMaster. A canopy model may fit more than one boat lift model. A ShoreMaster canopy may fit many non-ShoreMaster brands. Contact ShoreMaster or an authorized dealer for more information.

Note: Canopy warranty applies only if installed with a genuine ShoreMaster manufactured frame and cover.

This product provides your boat with protection from the sun and rain. A canopy is a simple and time savingalternative to cumbersome mooring covers, provided your boat is properly raised and under your canopy.

The information in this manual is not all inclusive and does not cover all unique situations. Questions about assembly, installation, use, or suitability of this product can be answered by contacting an authorized ShoreMaster dealer.

Assembly and InstallationNote: Two or more people are needed to safely assemble and install canopy. Note: On all 5/16" bolts, use a washer under thebolt head and use a lock washer and washer under the nut. STEP 1Place both frame sides with together as shown. Bolt together using the 5/16 x 1-1/4 hex bolt, two5/16 flat washers, one 5/16 lock washer, and one 5/16 hex nut in each place as shown. Leavebolts loose until all bolts in are place.

STEP 2Bolt canopy ends in place using the 5/16 x 1-1/4hex bolt, two 5/16 flat washers, one 5/16 lock washer, and one 5/16 hex nut in each place as shown. Leave bolts loose until all bolts in are place. STEP 3Tighten all 5/16 hex bolts and nuts used in step 1 and 2. Note: If the bolt holes along the two frame sidesdo not line up perfectly, first try to improve the alignment by pushing down on the spine where the frame sides meet. If they still do not line up enough to insert a 5/16 bolt, it will not damage the canopy to drill out the bolt holes from one side using 5/16 drill bit.

STEP 4Remove blue lift caps from boat lift uprights. Lower boat lift rack to full down position and make sure thereis no weight on the lift. Note: The level your canopy legs are set at determines how high your canopy is compared with your boat lift. Canopy should be positioned as low as possible, while still allowing you access to boat from dock, when your boat is lowered into water. Estimate the distance to fully raise boat out of water (up and under your canopy) without interference. Proper canopy positioning also requires boat lift to be adjusted so lift is placed at proper dockside height. STEP 5Insert one 3/8 x 1 carriage bolt in the lift leg from the inside and attach loosely with one 3/8 brass flange nutas shown. STEP 6Slide the slotted canopy leg over the carriage bolt andtighten nut, at desired height. All legs need to be at the same height. Note: Make sure to position legs with the sloped side facing out as shown. Canopy Leg

STEP 7Place the assembled canopy frame on the hip roof canopy slider legs in desired position. Secure frame to canopy legs by inserting 3/8 x 1 carriage bolts into access holes on the inside of the hip roof canopy frameand slide them to desired location. Pull lift leg/canopy leg in slightly so you can insert the carriage bolt through the hole in the hip roof canopy leg and secure with a 3/8 flange nut on all four legs.

STEP 8Attach canopy braces to frames 26' and longer. (See hip roof canopy bracing instruction sheet).

Note: Frame position should match estimated boat and motor position. Most boats are positioned forward in lift to provide proper balance and support. Usually 1-4 feet of canopy frame extends past rear of lift and the remaining 6-16 feet of frame extends past front of lift.

STEP 9Place the canopy cover over the canopy frame. Position the cover so it fits equally over the entire frame. Usually works best to set the canopy cover on the top in the center of the frame and unroll or unfold from there, make sure the cover is not inside-out.

To avoid personal injury attach nuts and bolts holding canopy frame to canopy legs very tight. Not securing this properly could result in frame sliding or falling out of position resulting in damage tocanopy, boat, or lift. A falling or slipping canopy could cause injury to anyone in the area.

Canopy cover is a hazard if exposed to high winds! To avoid personal injury do not attach cover to canopy frame if wind affects your ability to safely fasten. Do not leave cover unattended on frame when attaching.

Stretching and attaching bungee cords requires strength and proper balance. To avoid personal injury always wear proper protective clothing and safety glasses. Do not let go of bungee cords when under tension. An eye injury or other bodily injury could occur.

STEP 10Be sure the frame is in the desired position before proceeding.

STEP 11Secure the cover to the frame with the bungee cords on the inside of the cover. Take the bungee cord andpull it toward the outside of the canopy frame, down around the bottom beam of the canopy frame, and hook the end to the welded angle strip on the inside of the canopy bows.

Operation and UseCanopy provides best protection when your boat is positioned up and into the frame. -Severe or strong winds can pick up a boat, lift, and canopy. This would cause damage to equipment and injury to anyone in its path. Position your boat up within canopy frame to provide protection and reduce chance of severe winds circulating inside canopy. -Do not raise boat lift up past recommended lift height to position boat higher in canopy. Over raising may cause damage to lift, canopy, or boat. If over raising appears necessary to properly position boat, remove lift and canopy from water and adjust canopy legs to desired level. -Do not leave cover on canopy frame unless boat lift is firmly in place. Sink lift leg pads into lake bottom. Settling is helped by leaving boat on lift for several days and covering lift leg pads with lake bottom soil. These steps provide a suction effect. -Secure boat lift with canopy to lake bottom or a stand dock if you have a hard lake bottom (little or no soil), experience violent winds, will not have your boat in lift during strong winds, or if you are using a boat under 1400 lbs. You can use augers or trailer house anchors to provide needed additional security. Removal and StorageThe canopy cover must be removed when boat lift is not properly secure in water or if not being used regularly. You can remove the cover by detaching the bungee cords from the canopy frame.

-Stretching and removing bungee cords requires strength and proper balance. Do not let go of bungee cords when under tension. An eye injury or other bodily injury could occur. Always wear proper protective clothing and safety glasses. -Canopy frames and covers cannot support extra weight. Remove the cover if you experience snowfall. Not removing the cover and allowing accumulation of snow on canopy could damage the frame and the cover. -Store the cover in a warm dry place. Be sure the cover is clean and dry before folding or rolling up for storage. -Store canopy cover in a warm dry place to avoid cracks from freezing. Do not fold or handle the cover if temperature is below 45 degrees Fahrenheit, cracking could occur. ServiceA properly maintained canopy will require little service to the frame or structure. A canopy cover used under normal circumstances should provide 5 - 10 years of use before needing replacement. Inspect all canopy bolts, nuts, cord, and hooks every three months for loose or damaged parts. Tighten or replace parts as needed. Check other parts once a year for cracks, breaks or wear. Replace parts as needed. If damage occurs to any part, replaced damaged item before resuming use. Do not use chemicals or abrasives to clean your canopy cover. Using chemicals or abrasives will destroy your covers sun and mold protection. This will result in premature aging and decay of your cover. Use a soft dish soap and pressured water to clean your cover.
